A Small Book for the Hurting Heart: Meditations on Loss, Grief, and Healing

"Grief is sometimes too burdensome to search for direction and comfort in Scripture. We want the encouragement of Scripture but don't have the energy to find just the right passages. In this little book, Paul has found those right passages and brought us into them so they can be brought into us." -Ed Welch, Author of A Small Book for the Anxious Heart; faculty, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation

"How often I have wished for this kind of resource to share with a friend in the throes of grief. A wise, seasoned pastor and counselor, Paul Tautges comes alongside the person in pain, with short, encouraging, grace-filled reflections from God’s Word. These meditations will lift up weary hearts and tear-stained faces and help them find compassion and hope in the face of Christ." -Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Author; founder and host of "Revive Our Hearts"
